Dynabook launches its first 16-inch laptop, equipped with Intel’s latest AI CPU and an antimicrobial coating – shame about the small battery

Windows AI PCs are all the rage right now and there’s a lot of competition for the best business laptop. But now Dynabook is joining the fray by announcing the 14-inch Tecra A40-M and 16-inch Tecra A60-M.

Both laptops come standard with Windows 11 Pro, and Intel supplies the latest Core Ultra processors (Series 1) to take full advantage of the AI ​​features Microsoft has added to its Copilot+ PCs.

The 14-inch and 16-inch displays have a 16:10 aspect ratio and feature touch options.

Brand new from Dynabook

Dynabook is known for its rugged PCs designed specifically for the modern workplace. The 16-inch Tecra A60-M is the company’s first 16-inch laptop and features a full 10-key backlit keyboard.

According to the company, the 16-inch model is aimed at creative and financial professionals, in addition to developers and engineers, while the 14-inch model is aimed at professionals, educators and students.

Both laptops come with Microsoft’s Copilot AI suite, which offers a number of different ways to get the most out of AI in the workplace, including as part of the Microsoft 365 suite. There’s also AI noise cancellation for calls, and a 5MP webcam with AI enhancements like background blur for sharper video conferencing calls.

The Tecra A40-M and Tecra A60-M have a relatively slim design and exceed the MIL-STD-810H standard for durability. Dynabook has finished both in a durable dark metallic paint that has an antimicrobial coating to ensure a more hygienic setup.

Safety first, party at the back

Security is of course quite important for business professionals and Dynabook has focused on including some of the most sought-after tools. Both come with a Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) 2.0 and can be equipped with facial and/or fingerprint biometric scanners, as well as smart card readers.

Additionally, Dynabook features both a Wi-Fi 6E and LAN port, along with business essentials including an HDMI port, Thunderbolt 4, USB Type-A and a microSD card slot.

The Tecra A40-M and Tecra A60-M will have a tough time competing with our picks for best business laptops, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 8 and the Acer Travelmate P4, but what we’ve seen so far looks promising.
